Announcements

Benchmark Assessments Coming - Winter Assessment Window

We have decided to postpone the Winter Assessment Window to the week of December 2. We feel this will give some of our students the opportunity to complete a progress monitoring assessment, and it will also help avoid conflicts with students who may be leaving early for Thanksgiving break.

Pray the Rosary with our Prayer Warriors!

We warmly invite you to join the Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School Prayer Warriors in praying the Holy Rosary every Wednesday mornings immediately after drop-off, in our school chapel. This is a beautiful opportunity to come together as a community, lift up our intentions, and grow in faith as we seek the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.

Whether you're new to the Rosary or have been praying it for years, your presence and prayers are most welcome. Let us join our hearts in prayer for our students, our school, and all the needs of our community.

All are welcome! 

Help Spread the Word!

We would love to spend time with your public school neighbors, family, friends, colleagues, and anyone else you may tell about our great school in the coming week. Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School is a top Orange County institution, known for its rigorous academics, values-based education, and inclusive community. With outstanding facilities, a dedicated faculty, and a low student-to-teacher ratio, it offers personalized learning that nurtures students’ minds and character. Saint Jeanne prepares well-rounded, compassionate leaders through strong academics, diverse extracurriculars, and a warm, engaged community. Families choose Saint Jeanne for an education that blends academic excellence with faith and personal growth.

Forward this link and we will be happy to provide them with information and schedule a tour.

Honor Societies Fundraiser

We are excited to announce that our National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and California Junior Scholarship Federation (CJSF) honor societies are coming together to support hurricane victims in need. To help raise funds, the students will be selling Smencils, scented pencils made from recycled newspapers.

Details of the Sale:

• Price: $2 each
• Availability: Limited quantities of each scent, so be sure to get yours while supplies last!

Click on the link below to order and smencils will be delivered to your child's homeroom. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a fun and unique writing tool. We encourage everyone to participate and help us make a difference in the lives of those still affected by the recent hurricanes.

Winter Season - Basketball

Basketball season will begin this week, with the 7th and 8th grade teams practicing from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, and the 5th and 6th grade teams practicing from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. We are excited to have a group of dedicated coaches who are committed to fostering growth and building team dynamics that are fully aligned with the school's mission and philosophy. Based on the number of athletes expressing interest in playing, we hope not to limit the number of players on each team; however, coachability, effort, and attitude remain key factors in determining participation in the Lancer Athletics Program.
